Study Notes
Matter and Energy
- Matter is responsible for transformations in states, e.g., ice (solid water) becomes liquid water through heat energy.
- Energy plays a crucial role in these transformations.
Matter
- Defined as anything that possesses mass and volume.
- Mass refers to the amount of substance, while volume indicates the space occupied by that substance.
Physical & Chemical Change
-
Physical Change:
- Alters appearance or state without changing composition.
- Examples include cutting paper and melting ice.
-
Chemical Change:
- Alters both appearance and composition, resulting in new substances.
- Examples include burning paper and rusting metals.
Particle Arrangement
- States of matter differ in shape, volume, heat expansion, and density:
- Solid: Definite shape & volume, slight expansion, high density.
- Liquid: Indefinite shape, definite volume, slight expansion, medium density.
- Gas: Indefinite shape & volume, high expansion, low density.
Phase Change
- Matter can transition between states; this transformation is a physical change, leaving chemical composition intact.
Origin of Matter
- Organic Matter: Derived from living things and contains carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds.
- Inorganic Matter: Comprises non-living substances, such as carbon dioxide.
Fundamental States of Matter
- Main states include solid, liquid, and gas, each with distinct particle arrangements:
- Solid: Particles packed tightly, fixed positions, unable to slide past one another.
- Liquid: Particles in close contact yet able to slide freely.
- Gas: Particles widely separated, moving freely and easily compressed.
The Fourth and Fifth State of Matter
- Plasma: Ionized gas with electrically charged particles, similar to gases but with this additional charge.
- Bose-Einstein Condensate: Formed when bosons are cooled to near absolute zero, causing them to condense into the lowest quantum states, halting movement.
Properties of Matter
- Properties refer to characteristics that can be observed or measured, such as density, color, mass, and volume.
- Physical Properties: Observable without altering composition (e.g., color, density).
- Chemical Properties: Observable changes occur upon interaction, indicating a change in composition.
